    Stupid cartoon for adults only...I mean it!

    Parents need to know that this show, making people dumber, is not for children. Show contains information turning people away from their brains and so on. Families can talk about why this show turns people away from school. Why do you think there's a talking dog and geniuses? Also, they can talk about why in an episode, Johnny gets badder. Why does he destroy a school?
